I have a "Wanted" post in For Sale/Wanted but in the meantime - has anyone got any personal experience / recommendations regarding hard luggage
for a Gen.1?
Thanks.

Not fussed which brand but must include rack.
I am in S.Devon but happy to collect or arrange courier.
Thanks.

As spring slowly approaches I’m looking to swap my FZS600 headlights (with burnt-out reflectors) with one from the FZS400. It came from eBay with its wiring that connected to its original harness. The question is, will I be able  to ‘plug’ them straight in, or would I be best doing the headlight mod to get both dipped beams on together? Any advice would be much appreciated.  :rolleyes

Hello all. I am looking for a clutch basket to fit and 2001 fzs 600 as I have managed to snap off one of the threads while removing the clutch.  :o

Hi
My '98 600 is now for sale.
Located in South Yorkshire.
Price is £600


It has 97225 miles on it and has been used each day.
has some faded paintwork and a cracked fairing.
Scuffs to engine cases.
Some bubbling under fork wraps
some valve noise.


MOT to September and passed last one with no advisories having had head bearings replaced previously.


Chain & Sprockets are good and the Michelin PR3 tyres still have mileage in them.


I have an album of photos and I'll attach some here if I can figure out how


Any questions please just ask.

As you may well know Sidi's come up small. I'm a size 8 shoe but a 9.5 in Sidi's, otherwise I would have snapped these up myself.

... you know the rest of the saying ... and after much thought and consideration, I've decided to call a halt to my UK 'Ivanising' trips.

It was a difficult decision to make but finding time for them since quitting my day job has proved harder than when I was working 48 weeks of the year.  Now that Lynn and I finally have the chance we hope to spend many months each year travelling extensively.  With family visits to fit in around our motorhome adventures, suddenly there aren't that many spaces left on the calendar.  It seems it's true what they say about being busier than ever in retirement. Asking owners to travel to my work location during the UK winter months is a non-starter and the travel costs in the summer are too high for me to come over for just a handful of bikes.  I don't like to admit it but I'm no longer up to doing 16 Full Monty installations in 4 days, with 600 miles in a rental car between venues.

However, the most significant factor in my decision wasn't the age and condition of the mechanic but that of the bikes themselves.   I still find it hard to believe that the last Gen 1 rolled off the line almost 13 years ago and most of the bikes I've worked on have been older than that.  No matter how well they are maintained and cared for, corrosion and other age-related issues are appearing more regularly.  I can only travel with a limited selection of tools and my biggest concern is that I might encounter a problem which I can't fix without more specialized kit.  The last thing I would want is to have someone stranded having ridden many miles to get to my work venue.  Thankfully that has never happened but the odds have increased to the point where I no longer feel it fair or sensible to take that risk.  Since it's not feasible for me to do individual home visits or to set up a properly equipped workshop in the UK, it's clear that it's time for me to hang up my much-faded overalls.

I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has trusted me to work on their Fazer over the years, and a very special thank you to those who provided me with a workshop, sometimes a bed, delicious bacon butties and countless cups of tea and coffee on my travels.  It was your hospitality and kindness that made these trips possible.  Since doing my first Slip On kit installation in 2003, I've had the pleasure of meeting many hundreds of Foccers from all corners of the UK and it was a wonderful experience to see how one machine could bring folks together from every walk of life.  Great times all round. 

My heartfelt thanks to you all.

Mike
